SoftBank Group leader Sun Zhengyi is one of the strongest followers of artificial intelligence, but even he said he is concerned about safety risks as machines are rapidly gaining more capabilities. On Sunday, Sun Zhengyi said at an event during the “Technology and Society” forum held in Kyoto that artificial intelligence capabilities are growing exponentially, which requires countries to establish mutual trust before they can jointly harness this technology. Sun Zhengyi said, “We no longer have the luxury option of making humans fight with each other,” and countries need to work together to control the greater threat posed by powerful artificial intelligence models. He said superintelligence could become “super dangerous” if it falls into the wrong hands.
